FBRA "Rocks" out and prepares palates for Costa Rica!

DateThursday, December 3, 2009 at 4:04PM

This past Wednesday, students capped off their recent science unit on rocks and minerals by visiting the

Colburn Earth Science Museum  and participated in a geologoy presentation (see video).  Students then enjoyed lunch at downtown restaurant Havana.  The chef prepared a typical Costa Rican meal consisting of chicken, rice, beans, and plantains as part of preparations for their upcoming international field-lesson to Costa Rica in February.  Students then continued with their "rock" theme day by doing some indoor rock-climbing for physical education requirements and team-building. 

FBRA concluded the day with a tour of the NC State University Minerals Research Lab  where they viewed the process for separating minerals from rocks (see video).
